Course description
Public health psychology encompasses the critical application of psychology at a population level. It focuses on maintenance of well-being from a perspective that considers the influence of systemic and economic factors on individual behaviour and well-being, and acknowledges the effects of gender, ethnicity, age, and other sociocultural factors on individual choice. It uses lectures and discussion to provide in-depth knowledge and ethical and social understanding of the issues.
